Happy Tuesday! We hope you all are getting excited for the convention next month! Today, we have some awesome news about a new guest who will be joining us this October.

Tony Oliver will be joining us at Anime Fusion 2019: Infinite Possibilities! Tony is ranked as one of IMBD's top 20 voice actors of all time. You may recognize Tony from such roles as Saba (Mighty Morphin Power Rangers), Lupin (Lupin the 3rd), Minato Namikaze (Naruto Shippuden), Lancer (Fate Stay/Night), Ulquiorra (Bleach), and many more. Tony has also developed, produced, and directed numerous projects. Some of those projects include “.hack//GU” a multi-player online video game, Gurren Lagann, Eureka Seven, and more. Overall Tony has been involved in all parts of the industry. We're so glad we can welcome Tony to the Anime Fusion community. We look forward to seeing what panels and programming he brings our way!

Did you know that Anime Fusion is run entirely by community volunteers? We’re all people just like you; and we need your help! Providing three days of entertainment for over a thousand people is no small task. It takes a lot of hands to keep things running smoothly, and the more help we have, the more free time everyone gets to enjoy the convention. Joining staff for Anime Fusion is a great way to meet new people and give back to your community; and it looks great on a resume! Staff also get perks like a special lounge just for staff and a free badge after 20 hours of work! Sign up by September 15th for a special staff discount on registration.

We have a few departments in definite need of new staff for next month's convention: Con Fuel (Consuite), Merchandise, Safety, Video Gaming, Volunteers (Info Desk) and general staff. For more details, see the Join Our Team page on our website, or contact us through social media/email (AF_Marketing@AnimeFusion.net). You can also meet us in person at this Saturday's staff meeting, 1 PM at the Northeast Library in Minneapolis. We look forward to meeting you!

Happy almost fall! Only 50 days until Anime Fusion: Infinite Possibilities! Can you believe it?

We're working hard on behind the scenes to make the convention even better than last year. That's why this year we've brought in a couple groups to help us create even more fun. Today we would love to announce that we will have our very own maid café this year! Kitaku Maid and Butler Cafe will be joining us in October. They have a roster of awesome maids and butlers that are there to serve you. They also have snacks! Check them out on Facebook and Instagram at @KitakuCafe.

Remember to pre register now while you still can! Only a month left to get your badge at a lower rate! Head over here to register now. We can't wait to see you all in just under two months!
